Purple Walk in Downtown Truckee

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). Leaving an abusive situation can be especially tough in mountain communities like ours, where geographic isolation, limited housing, and the reality that “everyone knows everyone” can create unique barriers. While the federal government may be shut down, our doors are open, our team is here, and our services remain available to every community member who needs them.

Last week the Truckee Town Council honored our domestic violence advocates and gave their official proclamation acknowledging our team’s support for survivors across the North Tahoe region. I hope you’ll join us for our DVAM Purple Walk in downtown Truckee on October 16, a powerful reminder that no one has to walk this path alone. Our team is deeply committed and uniquely equipped to support survivors and we hope to see you there! 

Thank you for standing with us. Together, we are creating a community where every person has the opportunity to live in safety, with dignity and hope.
